I was really, really star-struck when I met Prince.

If you're not Prince, you're never going to sound like Prince.

Prince and I happen to think alike.

The first time I was in his office was when they called me in to tell me they had changed my name. I had a feeling that if I'd gone along with the name they'd chosen, I'd never be seen again. I'd be swallowed up by that name, because it was a false name: Kit Marlowe.

I think it would be nice to be a prince.

You understand, in my life, the only other person I spoke with or speak with more than Prince is my mother.

When I was about 12 or 13, my father gave me 'The Little Prince.' He was making sure that I knew it was a special book. I'd seen the name of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, but to me it seemed a very French name, and I was not excited about him as a person.

I never thought, 'Oh God, I'm in Prince's shadow.' He'd been performing for years, and he was my teacher.

It's weird to have people just calling me Prince Charming in the street. It's a lot of pressure to walk around sometimes.
